For all requests you are required to supply the "username" parameter to identify your system to ours. We also require that you supply a c-class from which you will be making requests - these will be matched against your username to uniquely identify your transactions.
Further, requests beyond searches and availability checks will require that you communicate with our servers on a secure (https) protocol. We will also require your password via the "password" parameter. Please note that your password will not be visible to anyone as the https protocol encrypts the entire request including GET variables.
If authentication fails for any request the "/fabulous/response/status" will be a "3xx" error.

For domain names in the Fabulous.com Premium Program, we allow a set of custom related keywords on a per-domain name basis which can be used to offer a related set of searches for end-users that may be of interest. We recommend that each domain name does not exceed 15 of these phrases as any given point in time. Also note that these values are subject to QA by Fabulous Consultants and may take up to an hour to be approved (and ultimately propagate to the domain).

The Fabulous.com system allows domain names to be assigned to a user-defined "group". Groups can be used for any purpose.
If you wish to add groups to your account, you can do so by making an "addGroup" command call to the API:
Please note that subsequent requests to use this group through the API must use the exact name that you specified when the group was created.
The parent parameter can be used if you wish to create a multi-level heirarchy of groups in your account. The parameter defaults to "base" (top-level) if none is specified.

As the Revenue Reports system of Fabulous is resource intensive, the API system imposes a total execution time limit on requests received in a rolling 24 hour period. The execution time is reported in each revenueReport response as request/exectime (and is reported in ms). Once a user has exceeded 300 seconds of execution, they will receive an error 689 "Execution Time Exhausted".
The following response error codes may be returned on an Availability Check API request:
301: User Credentials Failure
401: Missing Required Parameters
402: Invalid Parameter
404: Secure Protocol Required
